Found this wicked cool Anubis 3d printed kit. Details are amazing. Bought a 1/4 scale and a 1/5 scale version.

Converting 1/5 scale to a dragon god, using Black Heart reign of fire Dragon head, and adding dragon feet.
Not sure if I will add a tail.

Nice job! The two work together well. For what it's worth, I vote for adding a tail.

[barad_dur]

Thanks Stormheart!

A tail will definitely help sell the dragon vibe . I will start working on that

[barad_dur]

Refined the feet claws a bit
roughed in longer head horns

Good Lord Joe - you're making my head spin with all these different, simultaneous bashes ... hard to keep them straight ...

Well, anyway ... keep knocking them out for those of us who will have no modeling to do for a few months ....

Agree that the head/feet were a seamless addition - and agree about the tail!!!

[barad_dur]

Thanks Vlad!

Yeah, several bashes in progress as I reached the point with a couple of them where I am not sure about the path forward .

I like the bashing part way more than painting, so it is much easier to stay motivated doing bashing and delay dreaded painting phase

Going to use tail from a legendary dragon kit
( no doubt I will eventually use the wings and head from this dragon for other bashes)
I will extend length of the tail and change the angle a bit to allow it to wrap around side of the Anubis dragon and be right scale

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Preaching to the choir, brother - PREACH IT!!!!

OMG that looks SO good!

May I suggest posing him near your Croc headed god Gomek bash?

Just when I think I've seen everything, you keep coming up with new AWESOMENESS like this!!!

[barad_dur]

Thank you Vlad!

Working in attaching the tail.
I will probably have to narrow the tail down some more at the top.
The Anubis sculpt has a very thin waist section which I may have to thicken up a bit for better proportionality with the tail

[barad_dur]

Working on slimming down and narrowing the tail
Looking better, still have refining to do

[bucketfoot-al]

Truly rare is the bash where the figure looks AWESOME from an entire 360-degree perspective as you turn it around ... but by Jove, you've created one Joe!!!

[barad_dur]

Thanks Vlad.
The modifications turned out pretty much exactly how I visualized.
Now moving on to the painting phase.

Looks great! Are you going to stick with human-like skin, or try to paint in some faux scales?

[barad_dur]

I am going to leave the human like skin as I do not have the skills to paint faux scales

I am leaning towards green color scheme like I did with my other dragon man and Egyptian dragon god.

But also considering maybe a red color scheme?
